How the ETH Optimism → LINK exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.0374734 ETH Optimism.
- Give a LINK address on Chainlink and a contact for the order.
- Send ETH Optimism on Optimism, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Chainlink to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending ETH Optimism
- The address network is Chainlink. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0374734 ETH Optimism.
- Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
- Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Common questions: ETH Optimism → LINK
What rate does ETH Optimism to LINK run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 11:10 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 185.6147 LINK. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $2,676.56.
What amounts does ETH Optimism → LINK accept?
From 0.0374734 to 3,740 ETH Optimism per order. The floor is roughly $100.15.
Why can I not swap less than 0.0374734 ETH Optimism?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0374734 ETH Optimism they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending ETH Optimism, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping ETH Optimism for LINK take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Optimism confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant. A block in Optimism closes in about 12 sec.
Which network will LINK arrive in?
Chainlink arrives in its own Chainlink network — a plain LINK address is all you need.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the ETH Optimism to LINK rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 14.76%: a low of 182.8208, a high of 220.961, an average of 209.1183 LINK per 1 ETH Optimism.
Can I swap back, LINK for ETH Optimism?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 LINK = 0.0053874 ETH Optimism. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
